Abstract	Conducted to assist vocational educators in planning programs for handicapped students, the project examined selective aspects of the vocational education program, adjustments, and present status of the physically handicapped vocational graduates and the views of the employers and parents towards the training of the graduates. The project was designed to describe the following conditions: the current vocational status of the employed and unemployed physically handicapped in Pennsylvania from 1974-1976 in terms of their vocational adjustment and job satisfaction; the vocational education programs at the area vocational-technical schools and vocational rehabilitation centers for the physically handicapped; parental attitudes towards vocational programs; employer attitudes toward the physically handicapped graduate; vocational programs that would be beneficial to employability for the physically handicapped; and types of special services the physically handicapped might need to succeed in the regular vocational programs in public schools. Three major outcomes were reported: About three-fourths of the vocational handicapped students were placed in regular occupational classes with nonhandicapped students; in most cases, occupational training was not related to the first job; and about 93% of the employers of the physically handicapped reported that they would consider hiring another physically handicapped worker. Data collection instruments are included in the report. (BM)
